Robin Hobb - Dragon Haven

Dragon Haven: A Story of Hope, Loss, and Rediscovery

In a world where dragons once soared, but are now only whispers of the past, a new hope emerges from the murky depths of the Rain Wild River. The sea serpents, ancient and weary, return to the world after centuries of slumber, longing to be reborn as the legendary dragons of old. But their metamorphosis is flawed, leaving them weak, malnourished, and unable to fly. These dragons, a testament to both the resilience and fragility of life, are trapped in a swampy riverbank, dependent on humans for survival.

Led by the wise Mercor, the dazzling Sintara, and the delicate Relpda, fifteen dragons embark on a perilous journey up the Rain Wild River, seeking the fabled city of Kelsingra, a haven for both dragons and the Elderlings, a race imbued with ancient magic. Accompanying them is a group of humans, outcasts from Rain Wild society, who also yearn for a sanctuary, a place where they can forge their own destinies.

The path to Kelsingra is treacherous, fraught with danger and uncertainty. The dragons, haunted by fading memories of a lost past, must navigate a landscape scarred by floods and seismic upheaval. Their human companions, including the defiant Thymara, the scholarly Alise, and the urbane Sedric, face their own trials, their destinies intertwined with those of the dragons. The journey becomes a testament to the enduring power of hope, as both humans and dragons find strength and unity in their shared struggles, their bonds forged in the crucible of survival.
